Ive upgraded my Clarke to a esab rebel.
Very nice build quality machine, but I seem to be getting 'too much' penetration. (I think)
1.5mm sheet
0.6 wire
argon/co2 gas 10lpm
have a look at these ..
from left to right ....
1&2 my settings in mig mode
3&4 settings in smig mode
5&6 my settings again tweeked a bit in mig mode
underneath....
is this too much penetration ?? or is this ok ?
I got nothing like this with the Clarke.
The smig setting welds seem a bit proud too.
some butt welding.....
welding side
top 2 - my settings
lower one smig setting
reverse
my welds seem a wee bit flat on top, while the smig setting seems to be too proud.
I also notice I need to move the torch quicker too.
any opinions ??
